On Thursday, a search warrant was executed at Maynard’s residence where he was arrested.

Police said they found child pornography videos in the process of being accessed, downloaded and uploaded to other Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file-sharing network users via Maynard’s computer.

He is facing charges of accessing, possession and making child pornography available to others.

The accused is expected to appear in Saskatoon provincial court Friday and be released on numerous conditions before his next court appearance on June 14.
